The main difference between an Ultra card and a SCSI card is in the
format of the hard drives it will accept. SCSI drives need a SCSI
controller... Ultra is IDE format, or at least the Promise Ultra33
controller is IDE. This may in fact be a great solution for you after
reviewing the data on their web site... it fully supports IDE drives
up to 8.4gigs, (it claims to support even the coming 12gig IDE drives).
You should visit their web site for more details:

I have used Promise cards in the past... they were always a very good
product.
